Why not test your sewing knowledge with a fun free informal quiz about all things sewing. This post will tell you what’s going to happen and how to enter the raffle!
What, Where and When?
On Sunday 7pm UK time I’ll live stream the quiz on Instagram @almondrock_sews so everyone can join in at home. Remember that is 7pm BST as the clocks go forward 1 hour on Sunday morning so if you’re joining us from overseas check your time difference.
This will be a fun chance to play along, have a giggle and see how your sewing knowledge stands up to my questions! It’s not competitive so you’re just playing against yourself and you might learn something new in the process. We’re operating on an honour system here, so please don’t google answers and then tell everyone you won.
Did someone say prizes?
To help support our lovely community of craft businesses I’ve got a few raffle prizes together. I did not ask the companies to donate prizes as that’s the last thing they need right now, so these were self funded. Alas I couldn’t support everyone but if you see someone I’ve missed consider buying a gift card from them. This will give their business an injection of cash now when they need it and you can use the voucher later to get some delayed gratification in the form of sewing supplies!! If you can’t get the embedded form below to work, enter on this link
Enter below!
There are 10 prizes up for grabs and you are entering one pot that I’ll draw 10 names from during the live stream!

Though this fixed any tightness in my range of arm movement, the dress still has this nasty habit of riding backwards slightly, as if the shoulder and sleeve head isn’t in the right position. Something to tinker with if I make another.

With fine draping fabric like viscose I appreciate having my cutting table as I can really ensure the grain is straight and the fabric doesn’t shift as I cut. The top of my table is covered in a jigsaw of cutting mats so I can use my rotary blade to work speedily.
A sharp new needle was required for snag free sewing and I even managed to find four yellow spools for my overlocker to make the insides pretty! I’ve worn this dress to work a few times and I’m super excited to have a shade of yellow that suits me. I think it suits me better when my hair is out of the way as it gets stuck in the neckline sometimes heheh.
Time to get back to the sewing room! But here are three more Indigo versions I love.
